TYBER BIERHAUS - BETHESDA CONSTRUCTION UPDATE (PHOTOS)

A gleaming new bar is in place at the future Tyber Bierhaus in downtown Bethesda. There's still work to be done before this restaurant/bar is finished, however.

From the signs, it appears that the beer list will include Belgian/Belgian-style brews (Rodenbach, Hommel Bier), as well as German (Hofbräu München). That would follow the theme of the owners' other restaurants in the District. 

This outpost is on Old Georgetown Road, near the Bethesda Metro Center. Click on the photos to enlarge for more detail:

SWEET FARM SAUERKRAUT JOINS BETHESDA CENTRAL FARM MARKET

Do you like sauerkraut? I didn't, until I tried one that didn't come out of a tin can!

Yes, a fresh or bagged sauerkraut is a great side dish, and now you can get it from right here in Maryland.

Sweet Farm Sauerkraut made its Bethesda debut last Sunday, and will be back again this Sunday, 9 AM - 1PM at Bethesda ES.

Sweet Farm is in Woodsboro, in Frederick County. Their vegetable krauts are naturally fermented, and made with only organic vegetables, unrefined sea salt, and spices.

So until we finally get a German restaurant in Bethesda, at least you can get real sauerkraut at Bethesda Central Farm Market.

IT'S ALL ABOUT ZE GERMAN SAUSAGE AT BETHESDA CENTRAL FARM MARKET TODAY

Today's Bethesda Central Farm Market (9 AM - 1 PM at Bethesda ES) comes to you by way of Germany today.

Meatcrafters will have its newest sausage, Landjaeger.  It is does not contain Jagermeister, but would probably pair well with it!

Instead, Landjaeger is a German Hunter's sausage made with organic beef and pork.  Try a bite of this traditional German snack at the market today.  Then take some home.

Finish off your buy-local Father's Day feast with German potato salad made with 2012's first crop of potatoes from Bending Bridge Farm, and a Peach-Blackberry pie from Westmoreland Berry and Toigo Farms.
